THE FOUR PILLARS 

Pre-processor

Create models intuitively, assign loads and

materials with ease, and repair imported

geometries automatically. No need for tedious

scripting: just draw, define, and analyze.

Elementi rotondi piatti
STKO Pre-processor: intuitive 3D modeling—assign loads and materials, auto-repair imported geometry, no scripting required.

THE FOUR PILLARS 

Post-processor

Explore results with advanced visualization: stress

contours, animated deformations, and clear

3D renderings. Transform raw data into insights

you can immediately understand and share.

STKO Post-processor: visualize results with stress contours, animated deformations, and clear 3D renderings for rapid insight.

THE FOUR PILLARS 

HDF5 Database

Large simulations produce massive datasets.

STKO uses HDF5 via MPCORecorder objects

to store results efficiently, retrieve them quickly

and keep projects organized so you never lose

track of critical data.

THE FOUR PILLARS 

Python Scripting

Automate your workflows, create custom macros, 

and seamlessly integrate STKO into your research

or business pipeline. With built-in Python support, 

you can extend STKO’s capabilities, connect it

to other tools, and develop tailored solutions

to fit your specific needs.
